日本[FPS Benchmarks] Far Cry New Dawn on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) – the RTX 3080 is 34% faster
Far Cry New Dawn isn’t that different when compared to Far Cry 5 – the engine is the same, the open world is something like an upgraded and more colorful version of what we saw in the previous game, and the two storylines are connected as well.
The Dunia 2 engine isn’t that new but it still does the job done. Actually, Far Cry New Dawn isn’t too heavy and a modern mid-range GPU is just fine even for Ultra details. For people with high refresh rate displays, a fast video card is a mandatory extra for higher FPS. So, let’s see what the actual performance difference is between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) when it comes to Far Cry New Dawn.
